quote:Why are the hurricanes not reaching us?
So why are all of these powerful hurricanes not hitting the U.S.? It's simple. The pattern is not one that allows them to. We are lacking a stronger Bermuda High that would normally receive the hand off of westward moving hurricanes from the Azores High. Instead, there is a gaping hole in the western Atlantic steering pattern that allows these hurricanes to slip through like a helium balloon floating up, up and away. This path of curvature out to sea just happens to be far enough off the East Coast to keep cities like Miami, Charleston, Wilmington, New York and Boston all hurricane-free. Will the pattern change? It might, but time is running out for major hurricanes to impact the East Coast without them suffering from shearing winds and gradually cooling sea surface temps. The focus is going to begin to shift, in about 10 days, to the western Atlantic and the Caribbean Sea- very typical of a La Nina pattern. I will show in today's weekly Hurricane Outlook video broadcast what other major La Nina hurricane seasons looked like and how some are heavily weighted on the back end, meaning the last half had more impact than the first half or even the peak period of mid-September.
Ziet er dus naar uit dat we vanaf de laatste week September ook meer gunstige condities krijgen voor orkanen die het vaste land gaan bereikenquote:IGOR POSES NO DIRECT THREAT TO U.S. BUT BERMUDA ON ALERT
Igor
Powerful hurricane Igor has begun to make the turn from its due west course. This has been anticipated and hoped for and is a sign that the hurricane will eventually move north and then northeast away from the United States. The only land mass in its path over the next week is Bermuda. The good news there is that Bermuda is a small island in a big ocean. It would take a precise direct hit to bring severe conditions to the island- not impossible to accomplish but tough none the less.
The only visible effect from Igor along the shores of the western Atlantic land masses will be large swells that have been, and continue to be, generated by the hurricane's wind field. These will arrive in the Caribbean islands soon and eventually along the East Coast of the U.S. and Bermuda by the weekend. Another great surfing period is coming up but people need to remember that rip currents and rough surf can be deadly for those not accustomed to such conditions.
Julia
Julia is now a hurricane and will turn north and on out to sea over the next several days- keeping the string of good luck going of no hurricane landfalls this season outside of Alex in late June.
Changes coming... activity will shift south and west
Beyond the exits of Igor and Julia in the next week or so, it looks as though we will see activity begin to shift south and west with time. Computer models are beginning to indicate the development of tropical cyclones in lower latitudes as the western Atlantic high pressure (Bermuda High) strengthens. While it is too soon to know where such development will occur, it should not be surprising to see a tropical storm or hurricane moving towards the Lesser Antilles within about 10 days. This is very typical of a La Nina pattern where the most active part of the season extends beyond the normal peak time of mid-September. For now, at least, we can track the hurricanes as they travel far away from land.
Volgens NHC moet je de 5-daagse verwachting niet serieus nemen, track fouten kunnen gemakkelijk een paar honderd kilometer ernaast zitten. Het is nog te vroeg om met zekerheid vast te stellen of dat Igor aanzienlijke schade kan aanbrengen op het eiland.quote:Op dinsdag 14 september 2010 14:55 schreef Co_OL het volgende:

http://www.accuweather.co(...)ane-on-a-path-to.aspquote:Igor remains a monster Category 4 hurricane on a path that could take it dangerously close to Bermuda this weekend.
People living in or soon traveling to the island should pay close attention to this formidable storm and be ready to take appropriate action.
Through the end of the week, Igor will remain a powerful hurricane over the open waters of the Atlantic, passing well north of the Leeward Islands but still bringing increased waves and swells to the region.
The AccuWeather.com Hurricane Center has more details on the current location, strength and motion of the storm.
While minor fluctuations in strength will occur, Igor is generally expected to remain a Category 4 hurricane over the next day or two. As the storm starts moving over cooler waters and into stronger wind shear (strong winds high up in the atmosphere) toward the weekend, it should start to weaken.
Despite this weakening, Igor will still be a force to be reckoned with. The AccuWeather.com Hurricane Center is forecasting the storm to be a Category 3 or strong Category 2 hurricane with it passing dangerously close to Bermuda Friday night into early Saturday.
Damaging winds, flooding rain, extremely rough surf and a storm surge could all become major problems for the island if Igor passes close enough.
This will be especially true if the eye tracks just to the west of Bermuda, putting the island in the right front quadrant of the storm, where winds are strongest and the storm surge is highest.

In Noord-Korea zijn tientallen mensen omgekomen bij de doortocht van tyfoon Kompasu, meldt het officiële Noord-Koreaanse agentschap KCNA. In Zuid-Korea kwamen al vijf mensen om sinds de tyfoon op 2 september aankwam op het schiereiland.
Volgens KCNA zijn meer dan 8.000 huizen en 230 overheidsgebouwen verwoest. Akkers, wegen, spoorwegen en elektriciteitslijnen werden zwaar toegetakeld. Volgens hulporganisaties zal het stormweer van dit jaar de chronische voedseltekorten in de regio verergeren.
Het Zuid-Koreaanse Rode Kruis kondigde eergisteren aan dat het Noord-Korea hulp wil sturen na de zware overstromingen in augustus. Na maanden van spanning lijken de relaties tussen Noord- en Zuid-Korea opnieuw enigszins te ontdooien
